Abstract

The subject test changed into performed all through the Kharif season (2021) at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The dirt of the trial plot changed into sandy loamy in surface, practically unbiased in soil response (pH 7.1), low in regular carbon (0.36%), to be had N (171.48 kg/ha), to be had P (15.2 kg/ha) and to be had K (232.5kg/ha). The treatments comprised of phosphorus (40,50 and 60 kg/ha) and seed treatment (Dry seed, Hydro priming, and KCl) Viz., whose effect is found on the unpracticed gram (var. SAMRAT). The study used a Randomized Block Design, with 10 treatments that were replicated three times. Results showed that  application of 60kg/ha phosphorus + 1% KCl exhibited the tallest plants (38.46cm), the highest number of branches (4.48), plant dry weight g (5.44), number of pods  per plant (17.07), seeds per pod (9.41), test weight (37.80g), grain yield (2.05 t/ha), stover yield (5.15 t/ha) and harvest index (32.30%). As a result, the application of 60kg/ha phosphorus + KCl (1%) can be most productive and cost effective.
